PWHL Ottawa Charge finals bound after 2-1 victory over Montreal Victoire

In another hard fought game, the Ottawa Charge earned themselves a spot in the Walter Cup finals with a 2-1 win over the Montreal Victoire on May 16.

Early in the first period Rebecca Leslie would score the opening goal to put the Charge up 1-0. It would remain 1-0 into the second period, however it would only take Emily Clark 31 seconds to double the Charges lead in the second period.
The Montreal Victoire wouldn’t go down without a fight, and cut the deficit in half with five minutes remaining in the third by way of a Maureen Murphy goal.
This would be the only goal by the Victoire as Charge goalie Gwyneth Philips had yet another outstanding game saving 19/20 shots.
The Ottawa Charge win the series 3-1.
